No, not even close. Were you EVER in the US Military?
Apparently McChrystal is unaware that the .223 round is kind of weak compared to common hunting rounds.
When it hits the human body, the effects are devastating. It’s designed to do that and that’s what our soldiers ought to carry. I, personally, don’t think there’s any need for that kind of weaponry on the streets, and, particularly, around the schools in America. I believe that we’ve got to take a serious look. I understand everybody’s desire to have whatever they want but we’ve got to protect our children, we’ve got to protect our police, we’ve got to protect our population and I think we’ve got to take a very mature look at that.

Apparently. I mean we have to protect our children.
Clicked the link, then saw it was Alex Jones. Exited immediately.
SNIP As a retired soldier who still prides himself on twenty-one years of honorable service and as the father of another soldier who is rapidly approaching the twenty-year mark himself, I absolutely refuse to believe that American military members will obey an unlawful order to fire on American civilians.
I think as it stands today, many would refuse or mutiny. But, some would.
As things become even more polarized, the mutineers would shrink in number. Its really just a matter of whether the troops feel the commanders' orders are necessary. When things start really falling apart economically, commanders and troops are going to reach a point where they have to decide who's side their gonna be on. The citizens of this or that group, or the government who preserves order, or a military commander who promises to get rid of the Washington cabal and run things by junta for a while, or whatever. Any civilians who resist are going to be shot. That's just history; that's just the nature of the beast.

I served with, and still know, too many good and honorable men and women to believe this sort of garbage. I will believe that any officer who is foolish enough to issue such an order to troops is very likely to find the troops firing on him/her. Any politician, from POTUS on down, who dares to give such an order to the military will find themselves in what we used to call "very deep kimchi".
As concerns former General McChrystal, and I will include several other general officers in my assessment, officers, and especially flag officers, should be held to a higher standard. In joining with the anti-Second Amendment forces, General McChrystal, although retired, has violated his oath of office. That is, in my mind, more than sufficient reason to hold him in the contempt he deserves.
I absolutely refuse to believe that American military members will obey an unlawful order to fire on American civilians.

INTRODUCTION
The revolutionary development of modern weapons within a world divided by serious ideological differences has produced a crisis in human history. In order to overcome the danger of nuclear war now confronting mankind, the United States has introduced at the Sixteenth General Assembly of the United Nations a Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World.
This new program provides for the progressive reduction of the war-making capabilities of nations and the simultaneous strengthening of international institutions to settle disputes and maintain the peace. It sets forth a series of comprehensive measures which can and should be taken in order to bring about a world in which there will be freedom from war and security for all states. It is based on three principles deemed essential to the achievement of practical progress in the disarmament field:
DISARMAMENT GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
The over-all goal of the United States is a free, secure, and peaceful world of independent states adhering to common standards of justice and international conduct and subjecting the use of force to the rule of law; a world which has achieved general and complete disarmament under effective international control; and a world in which adjustment to change takes place in accordance with the principles of the United Nations.
In order to make possible the achievement of that goal, the program sets forth the following specific objectives toward which nations should direct their efforts:
The disbanding of all national armed forces and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force;
The elimination from national arsenals of all armaments, including all weapons of mass destruction and the means for their delivery, other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order;
The institution of effective means for the enforcement of international agreements, for the settlement of disputes, and for the maintenance of peace in accordance with the principles of the United Nations;
The establishment and effective operation of an International Disarmament Organization within the framework of the United Nations to insure compliance at all times with all disarmament obligations.
States would retain only those forces, non-nuclear armaments, and establishments required for the purpose of maintaining internal order; they would also support and provide agreed manpower for a U.N. Peace Force.
The U.N. Peace Force, equipped with agreed types and quantities of armaments, would be fully functioning.
The manufacture of armaments would be prohibited except for those of agreed types and quantities to be used by the U.N. Peace Force and those required to maintain internal order. All other armaments would be destroyed or converted to peaceful purposes.
The peace-keeping capabilities of the United Nations would be sufficiently strong and the obligations of all states under such arrangements sufficiently far-reaching as to assure peace and the just settlement of differences in a disarmed world.
Studies have already been done by DoD on this ... suggest you look them up and see .. just don't put your head in the sand and say you refuse to believe.
Did you previously belief that the gun grab after Katrina would never happen?
Military is not the same as when you joined ... they are just cogs in a machine now, even more so than when you joined
Is it possible that both are at work?laziness or dishonesty
SNIP Hey, all you people, I want you to actually click the link in the video description and read the document.
